Heinzenberg (noble family)

Between 1305 and 1315: Mr. Wilhelm von Heinzenburg (according to Codex Manesse)

The lords of Heinzenberg (also called Heinzenburg, Heinzenberger ) were a noble family with possessions in the Hunsrück . Their ancestral castle is located in the village of the same name, Heinzenberg .

history

The early history of Messrs von Heinzenberg is not exactly certain. At the beginning of the 13th century, Wilhelm von Heinzenburg, the first officially named representative of the family, appears. The poem Liebchen's hardness carried under this name is estimated at around 1260. Nevertheless, Wilhelm III is probably in the Great Heidelberg Song Manuscript ( Codex Manesse ). (1262–1293) listed and represented as the minstrel Wilhelm von Heinzenburg . The family died out in the 14th century. The last representatives sold large parts of the property shortly before their death. The lords of Steinkallenfels from Schloss Wartenstein appear as heirs .

possession

The family's possessions were mainly in the Hunsrück. The castle of the same name northeast of Kirn was owned by the owner. The barely visible remains can be found above the village of Heinzenberg. The family had close feudal relationships with the Wild and Raugrafen and the Counts of Veldenz . As an important fiefdom of the wild counts, they owned the bailiwick of the Ravengiersburg monastery .
